Time and again, Stewart has spoken candidly about how he manages to be a great father to all his children. During an interview with People in November 2021, the father of eight revealed that he has to be a different father to his kids due to their age groups. He added:

"You really have to treat all of them as individuals with individual problems."

Although the songwriter is close to his children, he shares a special relationship with his second child, Kimberly — the mother of his only grandchild, Delilah.

Kimberly welcomed her bundle of joy with actor Benicio Del Toro in 2011. The proud grandfather was at his daughter's side when she gave birth and enjoyed every bit of it.

Apart from Stewart, the singer revealed that the rest of Kimberly's siblings were present at the hospital to help her out. More than anything, Stewart is pumped to be a grandfather, and he always sings the praises of his granddaughter.

KIMBERLY AND BENICIO DEL TORO'S THOUGHTS ON THEIR DAUGHTER

Since her arrival, Delilah has been a source of joy and inspiration to everyone around her, especially her parents. Numerous times, the girl's father has spoken candidly about the influence of his daughter over his life.

In 2018, the Puerto Rico native sat down with US Weekly and revealed that Delilah had sharpened his negotiating skills.

According to Benicio Del Toro, he has learned the importance of compromise. In addition, the actor has mastered the art of keeping calm and maintaining his cool even when his daughter is being dramatic.

Despite her age, Delilah has developed a keen interest in show business. From fashion to acting and singing, the child has proven to embody talent.

In 2015, Kimberly relayed to News.com that her daughter was very opinionated, especially in issues regarding fashion. According to the woman, Delilah would look at her sometimes and spot the error in her outfit.

INSIDE DELILAH'S INTEREST IN MUSIC

Delilah has learned much about the music industry as the granddaughter of a renowned singer and songwriter. She has a great passion for the craft and often attends musical festivals and concerts.

In 2018, Kimberly and Delilah attended the Hollywood Bowl, and the former shared a snap from the event on Instagram.

In the video shared on Instagram, Delilah donned a white gown and dished out dance along with the music playing in the background. She performed on the stage alongside other kids with talent and elegance. Kimberly added the caption, "Get it, girl, ❤."

Apart from being a fantastic singer and dancer, the little girl has taken her interest in music further by learning to play musical instruments.

OTHER FACTS ABOUT ROD STEWART

Due to his achievements, Stewart is no stranger to the spotlight. However, there are a few facts about him that his fans are oblivious to. For example, the record producer is the youngest of five children born in 1945 during World War II.
